Customer Feedback - Project Management Handbook of Checklists

"We have been using the Project Management Handbook of Checklists as a source for project specific checklists.
We have found it to be very useful and very comprehensive." John A. Howard, Stantec Consulting Ltd., Calgary, Canada.

"I'm working in a Steel Company (Gerdau Group - Brazil) where I'm Engineering Director. In our department we
have the responsibility for all capital investments management and coordination. We are looking for a new project
management system (we think that we will adopt the recommendations of PMI) and we believe that one excellent
tool would be to have good "checklists" for project scopes definitions, project schedule development, projects cost
budgeting, etc. For this purpose, your Project Management Handbook of Checklists was an excellent choice."
Erico Teodoro Sommer, Engineering Director, Gerdau Group, Rio Grande Do Sul, Porto Alegre - RS - Brasil.

"We have been using this handbook in establishing checklists to measure project progress as part of our Project
Metrics project. It is our intention to introduce an electronic checklist version in our Project Methodology so that we
can measure progress automatically during the various stages and phases of the life cycle of a project.
This will be integrated in our Project Health Check Tool for IT projects in time to come." Andrew Hogendijk,
